Izuku's heart couldn't stop racing when the noble led the greenette the way. All the curious villagers came out of their houses or taverns to see the noble and rumored criminal. Although Izuku couldn't think of a big enough crime for the nobles to get involved. When the noble stopped by a carriage he gestured Izuku to get inside and stop walking beside him, while looking down from his horse.

They had soon left the dirty small roads of the poor village and reached a big forest. Izuku was mesmerized by the sight he got to see out of the carriage. He couldn't get his eyes off of the beautiful green leafs and many animals he had never seen before. It almost all seemed magical.

When suddenly the green ferns and trees got replaced by a golden gate, the carriage quikly passed through. The horses led Izuku and the noble over a tall bridge above blue water that immediately catched Izuku's attention. He had never seen such clear water and felt the urge to dive in and get rid of his thirst.

It was almost like he had forgotten about the reason why he was here, but when the carriage halted and the door opened, his heart rate started picking up its pace again. Cause whatever the reason was, it couldn't be good.

The noble didn't speak, just freed the horse of the carriage and got back on. He didn't even grant Izuku a glance, as he continued his journey to the king. Izuku followed the horse quietly as he looked at the empty streets. It was almost like the noble had used a detour not to be obligated to go through the bustle of people. Although Izuku couldn't really think of a right reason why.

Were they really going to kill Izuku? Were they going to punish him? What even did he do wrong?

His questions would soon be answered by the king, he thought to himself, as they both reached the enormes palace. Izuku tried not to choke on air, but failed miserably as he saw the two high towers that were conected to a bigger one further away, beautifully filled with multiple trees and bushes with red flowers. Even the gate, the noble led Izuku through, was decorated with red mosaics that immediately catched Izuku's attention because of the similar color.

His heart, that had stopped in total shock because of the sights he had always dreamed to see, quikly started beating again, as the noble halted by the door and signed Izuku to keep going. When he walked through the door he was met by a throne, where a visible angry king seated.

Izuku walked closer to the man as he tried figuring out what he was supposed to do. With every step he took coming closer to the king, he seemed angrier and almost on fire in rage. What was the red haired king going to do to Izuku?

Should he run?

Even though Izuku saw that as his best option, his body didn't seem to listen and just froze before bowing lumpishly with his nose deeply burried in the same color red carpet before the king's feet. As he kept waiting for the king to speak, he kept hearing disapproving and frustrating noises.

What was going on? He kept guessing as he heard his heart beat so loud, the king could probably hear it too. When suddenly the red haired man started speaking in a frustrated tone. Almost like he blamed someone.

"That damn bastard!" Enji brought out, making Izuku flinch because of his firey anger. The greenette felt relief coming over him, knowing the king wasn't angry because of something he did. Although he did realize he could be talking about Izuku as if he wasn't there, since he lived in the low ranks.
